Hi @supermanPunch

Please let me know if you want the workflow and/or the app’s credentials. I can provide both.

@Cardon_Cezar If you have noticed the Error Message, it is indicating the Selector which you have provided as {{invoiceDate.Day.ToString}} , I don’t think the Selector Accepts a method to be raised inside it, and hence instead of the value, it outputs the the variable name as it is.

you can use a String variable called day and set it to that value, and then use that value.

day = invoiceDate.Day.ToString

Then use {{day}} in the aaname of the selector.

Try it and let me know.
